This month's interview is with Team Gamsci, Jim, Shirley and Josh Garrison.

The three person team, sometimes four (if daughter Kristen is involved) has 14,194 finds. They have 411 hides with 265 still active. Their name comes from a combination of the words games and science. So now we all know how to pronounce it, although most prononuce it “gam-see”.
